Virtual Lewa Safari Marathon Challenge 2021
Organised by Tusk
Event Day Hub – 26 June 2021
Thank you to all our Virtual Lewa Safari Marathon participants around the world …
You are part of a global community of runners, walkers and riders around the world who have joined forces for a common cause to raise vital funds for conservation in Kenya. Whether you cover 5km or 42km, your support is deeply valued.
We encourage you to make this race your own- wherever in the world you are. Whether running on streets, lanes, tracks or even your garden, every step counts.
It’s not too late to take on the challenge and to fundraise or donate for this crucial cause- the race will stay open until the 5th of July! Please register now if you’d like to join the global community and help our partners in their recovery from the devastating impact of Covid-19 on our project partners.
